In true Costa del Waterford weather Waterford AC hosted another great event and guided 218 runners through the streets of Waterford to a very fast 4 mile run. Fintan Walsh got everyone off to a prompt start at 12:16 and with Joe and the traffic corp and 26 stewards in their allocated spots by Michael & Pauline the runners got through the course safely, quickly and enjoyably (???) to finish at the RSC where they were welcomed home with drinks, bananas and Easter eggs for every 10th bunny by many of our Juvenile WAC members, the finish area having been organised so efficiently by Mal and Jim...and with Teas, Coffees and cakes upstairs by Dee & Co everyone agreed it was an excellent fun day out!
Brian Swaby was first WAC male home coming 3rd overall with Slyvia Malone first WAC lady coming 2nd lady overall and both team prizes were won by Waterford AC: the members being David Cunningham, Dave Drohan and Dermot McCarthy and Gabrielle Blair, Anna Dungan and Carolyn Ryan. WAC members who won category prizes were Jacinta Brazil, Patt O'Keefe, Tom Burns and Tony O'Brien. The Junior lady prize was won by Kate Nolan making it 2 wins in the same weekend having won the Butlerstown 10K junior title on Friday night.
Much thanks is due to all who helped out on the day (you know who you are!), particularly our front of house registrations girls of Jacinta, Chelly, Mary, Sinead and Ann who welcomed (and processed!) the athletes at the Granary.
Our next road race is Waterford to Tramore on Saturday May 7th at 7pm. If you are planing on running it please pre-register on runireland.com or at Alfie Hale sports shop in town or if you are available to steward contact Pauline, Michael or Tom.
